<h1>New Enterprise Application with Existing Sources: Application Modules</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>The New Enterprise Application with Existing Sources wizard creates a new standard project&nbsp; using the imported sources of an enterprise application that is structured according to the Sun Java BluePrints Guidelines. You open the Enterprise Application with Existing Sources wizard by opening the New Project wizard and selecting the <b>Enterprise Application with Existing Sources</b> wizard template from the Java EE category.</p>
<p>In the Application Modules page, the IDE displays the modules in the existing project. For each listed module, you can use the drop-down menu to specify the module type. If the existing project has a module you do not want to import, select the module and click Remove.</p>
<p>To determine the project modules and their type, the IDE scans the project location for modules with standard deployment descriptors. If a module does not have deployment descriptors (for example, a Java EE 5 EJB module), you need to manually add that module and specify the module type.</p>
<p>When you click Finish, the project is created on your computer and opened in the IDE. You can view its logical structure in the Projects window and its file structure in the Files window.</p>
